Labour have a colossal 33-point lead over the Tories, according to new polling.
The YouGov poll, carried out on Wednesday and Thursday, put Labour on 54% compared to the Conservatives' 21%. It comes amid market turmoil and public outcry following last Friday's mini-budget.
This is the highest polled Labour lead in 26 years.

Sir Keir Starmer has said a "changed" Labour can turn the UK into a "growth superpower". At the Labour Party Conference, held in Liverpool earlier this week, the Labour leader announced that a Labour government would create a new, publicly owned British energy company, as well as unveiling plans to boost NHS nursing placements and implement a new 70% home ownership target.
Sir Keir's policy announcements were well received by local MPs, with Liverpool Wavertree MP Paula Barker describing plans for Great British Energy as “great news” and Wirral South MP Alison McGovern branding Starmer’s speech as “clear and direct about how Labour will rebuild hope."
Sir Keir also vowed to put a Hillsborough Law on to the statute books, which will help bereaved families and aim to prevent further injustices where there is state involvement. The need for such legislation was painfully clear on Monday evening, when Hillsborough families shared their harrowing stories with a packed out room at one of the conference’s 400 fringe events.
